Web designers in Australia typically advertise a website of about five pages for around $2,000, going by the prices they publish on their own sites. We read 44 of those prices, from designers in all eight states and territories, between 17 October and 5 November 2026. The median (the middle price when they’re put in order) was $2,000. The middle half ran from $999 to $2,800, and the full range was $499 to $10,000 (the top figure is a “from” price).

The short version: For about five pages, the typical published price in Australia is $2,000, and most sit between $999 and $2,800 (44 prices, read 17 October to 5 November 2026). These are the prices designers advertise, often “from” prices, not what clients paid. Who writes the words, extra pages, custom design, selling online and running costs after launch are what move the price. CatalystHub’s Standard build is $500 inc. GST for five pages, and Advanced Design is from $700 inc. GST.

The five-page figures at a glance

What we measured	Finding
Prices counted	44 published prices for a website of about five pages
Where the designers are	All eight states and territories: NSW 4, VIC 5, QLD 6, SA 4, ACT 1, TAS 1, NT 1, WA 22 (11 regional, 11 Perth)
When we read them	17 October to 5 November 2026
Median	$2,000
Middle half	$999 to $2,800
Full range	$499 to $10,000
Under $2,000	21 of the 44
GST shown beside the price	Included 7, added on top 14, not stated 20, other wording 3

Half of the 44 prices come from WA designers, so we checked whether they drag the figure around. Leave the 11 Perth prices out and the median is still $2,000, across 33 prices from $499.99 to $3,850. Take only NSW, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia, all read on 5 November 2026, and the median is $1,500, across 19 prices from $595 to $3,850. Outside WA, each state or territory has only 1 to 6 prices in the set, which is too few to give a median for any one state.

How we read the prices

What counts as five pages. A package whose page allowance tops out at four, five or six pages, such as “up to 5 pages”, “1 to 4 pages” or “6 pages”. We left out packages that go above six pages.
Where the price comes from. The designer’s own website, for a designer whose site places them in that state or territory.
Which figure we used. Where a designer shows more than one price, we counted the lowest, as written. That includes “from” prices.
GST. We recorded whatever the designer shows beside the price. GST (the goods and services tax) is included in 7 of the 44, added on top in 14, and not mentioned in 20.
When. Prices in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia were read on each designer’s site on 5 November 2026. The ACT, Tasmania, the NT and regional WA were read on 3 November 2026. The Perth prices were first read on 17 October 2026 and checked again, unchanged, on 3 November 2026.
What we left out. Prices we couldn’t confirm on a designer’s own site: a page that wouldn’t load, a business that no longer sells websites, and a listing with no page count.
Checking. We did a verification run on this data on 5 November 2026, opening each designer’s page again against the figure we recorded.

These are the prices designers publish, often “from” prices, not what any client paid. It isn’t a random sample: it’s the designers who publish a five-page price and that we found. We haven’t named anyone, and CatalystHub’s own price isn’t one of the 44. For regional WA, the prices come from our audit of what WA web designers publish.

What the five pages usually are

One NSW designer lists “Home, about, one service page, contact and one spare”. A South Australian designer’s four-page package is “Home, About, Service & Contact”. A Melbourne designer lists “Home, About, Services, Contact, etc.”

On our Standard build, the usual five are Home, About, Services, a service detail page and Contact. You can swap any of them for what fits your business. We count pages that are each designed on their own, so privacy and terms pages generally don’t use up one of your five.

What pushes the price of five pages up

Who writes the words

One NSW designer puts it plainly: page count, custom work and who writes the content are what move the price. One Queensland designer prices the same four-to-six-page package at $1,495 with the content created for you, or $595 if you supply the final words and photos for every page. Others charge for writing on top, for example $75 for 500 words, or $250 a page. Some five-page packages include the writing in the price.

More pages than the package allows

Pages beyond the package are priced per page. On designers’ own price lists we saw $150, $180, $350 and $385 for each extra page, and $550 for a researched service or location page.

Custom design instead of a template

A template is a ready-made layout your content is dropped into; a custom design is drawn for your business. One Perth designer shows a template five-page package at $1,999 and a custom five-page package at $3,500.

Selling online

A shop costs more than a five-page information site. Published e-commerce (online shop) packages we saw include $1,400 to $4,900 at one designer, $3,567 inc. GST with 20 products at another, and $5,000 plus GST at a third.

What you pay after launch

Some five-page prices only cover the build. One designer pairs every new site with a hosting and care plan at $79 a month or $790 a year. Others list hosting free for 12 months and then $330 a year, six months of free hosting, managed hosting at $29.95 a month, or optional hosting from $29 a month and care from $49 a month. Ask what the site costs in its second year, not just the build price.

GST

20 of the 44 prices don’t say whether GST is included. When you compare quotes, ask.

What a five-page website costs with CatalystHub

Our Standard build is $500 inc. GST, one-off, for a custom-designed five-page website. Advanced Design is from $700 inc. GST, one-off, for five pages with an animated or 3D design treatment. Extra pages and development are quoted up front.

What’s included

Free hosting, with no ongoing cost. The site runs on your own Cloudflare account on Cloudflare’s free tier, so there’s no hosting bill and you don’t need a care plan. A care plan is optional, from $49 a month.
A simple editor. A Word-style content editor lets you change words and images yourself, with no code.
Basic SEO. Each site is SEO (search engine optimisation) optimised for Google and AI search.
GA4 analytics tracking. Google Analytics 4, which shows how many people visit and what they do, set up properly and privacy-respecting.
Help with the words. We can write the page words for you, or help you polish your own.
Fast on phones. Built mobile-first, with a Lighthouse score of 95+ on mobile (Lighthouse is Google’s speed score).
Tap-to-call and a quote or booking form, so visitors can reach you straight from the page.
